Today I have a great pattern for you guys that is so much fun!

For those of you who are (what I like to call) multi-craftual, in that you craft in all kinds of different ways, this project combines two loves:

sewing & crochet

I wanted to make something for a dear friend of mine who has been the reason I began sewing. I've been a self-taught crocheter for some time now and she has sewn for most of her life. When we became friends, a great cornerstone of that friendship was our mutual love for creating. She inspired me to buy a sewing machine and try it out - I've been in love with sewing for a while now!

In short, I wanted to make something for her that represented our friendship - a crochet pillow with a sewing machine motif seemed to combine our loves in a neat way!

So just follow these charts to make each side.

After the two sides are made, I did a simple DC border around the edge of each piece (front and back) then whip stitched them together with a tapestry needle and coordinating yarn.

You will need a 14" x 14" pillow form to make these blocks into a pillow (I suppose you could also use poly-fil stuffing but I find pillow forms to be easier and hold a longer lifespan)


I hope you guys love making this little cutie!
